If Aubrey holes only have this designation at Stonehenge, then this should form a subsection at Stonehenge with a redirect from here. Wetman 20:48, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

It's true that they're Stonehenge-only but I thought I'd send them out on their own, more in the interests of brevity in the main article, as I wanted to run through all the phases there without too much deviation. I can add some more on the centuries-long debate about the purpose of the holes if that'll help adamsan 21:07, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I invite you to take account of the new theory about the Aubrey Holes presented in an article entitled "Stonehenge Numbers" in Liceus.com. This theory points to the fact that the Aubrey Holes mean weeks of 6.5 days. (The Assyrians used a week of 6 days) 56 weeks multiplyed by 6.5 days add up to 364 days in a year. If one counts the numbers of days between the summer solstice on the 21st. of June to the 21st. of December one reckons 81 days. From the winter solstice back to the summer solstice, one counts 83 days, which added together, account for a year of again 364 days. So the Stonehenge year folowing the Aubrey Holes and the clearly marked solstices is equal to 364 days. Santiago sevilla (talk) 13:54, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
